Dragonfruit...

This was the first time I ever saw this fruit, it's red, full of spikes and kind of looks like a dragon (hence the name) we forgot to take a photo of what it looked like before peeling it! When I sliced it in half, I thought it looked like a bleached kiwi fruit :) It turned out to be quite delicious actually.

"Also known as the Dragon Fruit, the Pitaya is a stunningly beautiful fruit with an intense colour and shape, magnificent flowers and a delicious taste. Once only seen in the finest restaurants it is fast becoming common-place throughout Australia as a garnish and a delicious fresh fruit. To eat the fruit serve chilled and cut in half. Scoop out the flesh and seeds much like a kiwi fruit. " Daleys Fruit Nursery
